Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pulseaudio
I have been running pavucontrol for quite some time and I notice that pulseaudio has slowly been hoarding memory, now being almost on a par with Firefox. I find that absurd for a daemon process. Here is the top output of the top command, sorted on "%MEM": PID VIRT RES SHR %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 30555 1248m 557m 20m 3 14.1 23:17.98 firefox-bin 1835 823m 515m 58m 2 13.0 201:33.44 pulseaudio ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: pulseaudio 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu21.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-24.42-generic 2.6.35.8 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-24-generic x86_64 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
